RELATED LAWS-
Read the
highlighted areas of
the VERMONT STATUES ANNOTATED (VSA)
Laws & Rules located in the
Vermont Laws Textbook or online from
the "Vermont Laws Login" link @
www.qualityworkshops.com.
Work from the Practice side of the
Quiz Room
only after reading the highlighted content. After mastering the
practice questions to a level of 80% or more, complete the
"online" two part final confirmation quiz (E-mailed Version),
also located from the Vermont Laws'
Quiz Room link. Confirmation results will be
sent to Quality Workshops with results emailed back to
students. A score of 80% (salespersons) and 85% (brokers) or
higher is required. Students are encouraged to check their
answer form the Vermont Law text book or practice side of the
quiz room. Scores of 100% simply mean students have read the
highlighted sections and feel they can
represent
these laws during their practice as a real
estate agent. |

FINAL REVIEW
-
For the
MREP content (national) review, re-study the weakest areas of the text book or Q & A
program by designing mini quizzes from the Q&A custom build area
by selecting one topic and setting the number of questions to
10. Repeat this for any section that was reported within the
main menu reports starting with the lowest scores.
For the
Vermont Laws review, re-read the highlighted sections of the
Vermont Laws text book or online software. Retest from the
“practice” side of the quiz room as much as needed to obtain a
working knowledge of 80% or higher.
